‘Sugar-Coated Philosophy’: VP Dhankhar on Religious Conversions
As mentioned earlier, VP Dhankhar has called religious conversions a ‘sugar-coated philosophy' that is ‘unethical to our constitutional values’. In his words, “Religious conversion is happening in a policy, institutional, and a planned manner. A sugar-coated philosophy is being sold.”
VP Dhankhar Says ‘Tribal People Affected’, Religious Conversions ‘Painful’
VP Dhankhar further said, “This issue affects our tribal people more. We are witnessing very painfully religious conversions and this is antithetical to our values and constitutional premises. There is an urgent need to work at a fast pace to neutralise such sinister forces. We will have to be alert. You cannot guess the number of people who are active today to divide India.”
‘Sanatana Never Spreads Poison, This Century Belongs to Land of Sanatana Dharma’
Speaking on Sanatana Dharma and how the people who do not believe in it are trying to break the nation, VP Jagdeep Dhankhar said, “Sanatana never spreads poison. Those who want to break this nation, who do not believe in sanatana and who consider sanatana a crisis, are the epitome of foolishness. The serious thing is that the voice that frustrates such people should not be weakened! This is not the time to remain silent! This century belongs to India, this century belongs to the land of sanatan dharma.”
The Vice President further said, “I am worried about where some people get the guts to sit with those people in the country and abroad who are not in the interest of the nation. Some people sit with those who want to break the country. You cannot imagine the number of people who are active today to break India. When I see nationalism and patriotism in front of me and something happens in a neighbouring country, a person who has held a constitutional post, has been a minister at the centre, is a senior advocate in the legal profession, runs a narrative, says that this can happen inIndia too. Is our democracy weak?”
